Q: How does Berlin’s real estate market compare to other international cities like San Francisco, Paris, and Madrid?
Niels Schnatz: Berlin remains incredibly attractive compared to other major international cities like San Francisco, Paris, and Madrid. One of the key advantages is the relatively affordable property prices. You can still find apartments starting from €5000 per square meter, which is quite competitive. This affordability, combined with Berlin’s vibrant culture, strong economy, and high quality of life, makes it a highly desirable location for both investors and residents. The potential for growth in Berlin’s real estate market is significant, making it a smart choice for those looking to invest in property.
Q: Berlin is already a top destination for tourism, with more and more high-class restaurants and cultural venues. What are your thoughts on EURO 2024 and its impact on Berlin?
Niels Schnatz: EURO 2024 is going to be a fantastic event for Berlin and Germany as a whole. Much like the World Cup in 2006, we expect it to create a lot of positive impacts. Berlin is already a top destination for tourism, and the influx of visitors for the tournament will only enhance its reputation. The event will bring a surge of tourism, boost the local economy, and enhance the global profile of Berlin. Additionally, it will foster a sense of community and excitement, which can have long-lasting positive effects. We’re looking forward to the vibrant atmosphere it will bring to the city and the opportunities it will create for the real estate market and other sectors.
Q: Thank you for your insights, Niels. It was a pleasure speaking with you.
Niels Schnatz: Thank you for having me. It’s been a pleasure sharing more about Invest-AB and the exciting prospects for Berlin’s real estate market.
